BETHEL, Ohio — A 38-year-old man was arrested in Bethel after shooting his roommate during a dispute Wednesday afternoon, the Clermont County Sheriff's Office said.

Around 1:54 p.m., the Clermont County Communications Center received a 911 call from a man who said his neighbor has been shot in the 2000 block of Spring Street in Tate Township.

Deputies responded to the residence and found a 36-year-old woman shot in the back, but her injuries were non-life-threatening.

She was transported to UC Medical Center by Air Care, and she remains in stable condition.

That woman identified Jesse Herndon, 38, as the man that shot her.

Just before 2:15 p.m., deputies located Herndon and arrested him, the sheriff's office said. He was taken to Clermont Mercy Hospital as a precaution.

The sheriff's office said he refused to provide a statement or cooperate with detectives during their investigation.

The 38-year-old has been charged with one count of felonious assault, a felony of the second degree.

Herndon will be transported to the Clermont County Jail after being medically cleared. He is set to be in court Thursday morning at 9 a.m. for his arraignment.

The sheriff's office is continuing to investigate the shooting.
